Also ideal for popping on the end of your double bass's endpin so it doesn't slip/make a mess of the floor

Is this something a tech would be able to do as a matter of routine, then?

I have a bass with what I believe to be a Wilkinson bridge -- it's one of the crazy 5 string conversion bridges. A couple of the saddle height adjusters appear to be bust -- I managed to get the screws out, but I had to force them and screws that work in the other saddles won't go in, despite working fine in their own slot. I assume this means the thread on the saddle itself is damaged, and simply replacing the screw is unlikely to help. Is there any way of fixing that, short of replacing the entire saddle? Cheers.

Yeah, I just took delivery (despite ParcelForce's best efforts) of a multi-tool with both on it. 1/16th" seems like the right fit, now I just need to find the time to do the setup!

Kinda drifted off of 'up and coming UK metal bands' here...

[url="https://bloodshotdawn.bandcamp.com/album/demons"]Bloodshot Dawn[/url] cranked out one of my albums of last year -- kinda melodic death metal with an extra helping of death. No clean singing, lots of blistering blastbeats and razor-sharp riffage. [url="https://saor.bandcamp.com/album/aura"]Saor[/url] do some wonderfully atmospheric folky black metal, but without the ridiculous cheese that usually comes with that. Thunderous guest drummer on that album too. [url="http://miroist.com/album/curve"]Miroist [/url] is instrumental prog/djent, if you liked the first couple of Cloudkicker releases you should check this out.

That seems most likely, thanks.

Just taken in a new arrival which has a Wilkinson bridge, but none of my Allen keys fit the bridge saddle adjusters -- 1.5mm is too small, 2mm is too large. I'm guessing this might require an imperial sized allen key -- does anyone know offhand what the size I'm looking for is likely to be? I imagine it's something daft like 2/16", but if anyone can tell me before I have to buy a load of different keys and try them individually that would be great

I have had a Realist die on me in the past -- IIRC the constant pressure from the bridge foot can break the piezo elements. I don't recall what noises it made while on the way out though, sorry...
